Hi Stillin,
I've already got a fair idea of what you've got infesting your machine.. the latest variant(s) of CWS (CoolWebSearch), and at the moment we've got just about every security expert on the planet working on a fix, and it's not yet 100%.
Please download 'Hijack This!' from
here, unzip, and place it in it’s own folder, (not in the temp folder, or on the desktop) doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a
PM to me.
This will give me a rundown of what’s going on in your PC. I'll be happy to check it over for you.
Don’t fix anything yourself yet, as a lot of the stuff on that list will be harmless or required.
Cheers
